"Stay with Kaleth; don't let her see the battle."
Nami's expression showed she wanted to argue, but she recognized that tone.
"Be careful. You're not immortal, no matter how powerful your bloodline makes you."
"I'm aware," Jorghan replied.
"But they're eating children, Nami. Faery children who've done nothing except exist. I'm well past careful. I'm going to kill every single one of them, and I'm going to make sure that they understand exactly what happens when you treat faeries as livestock."
He looked at Pecah.
"Take me straight in. Through the main entrance, right to wherever the prisoners are being held. No subtlety, no hiding. Just a direct approach."
Pecah hesitated, clearly torn between following sensible tactics and trusting this stranger who'd promised to help. Finally, his desire to save his people won out over caution.
"Follow me," Pecah said, his wings spreading wide.
